Great card against midrange and control decks, reminds me of a shadowverse card which name i forgot (but it had pretty much the same effect iirc even with taunt)
Also incredibly strong with nzoth.
Underworld Watchman Khawy. They merged the healing with his deathrattle destruction effect though - it kills the strongest enemy minion and heals you for its attack value.
Obsidian Statue emphasizes the healing aspect more, hopefully that can justify it's enormous cost.
Now that I think about it...this card doesn't seem so great anymore lol
first priest card I see getting widespread use, spirit lash was not bad but this is the first great one. It will probably see play in any control priest. it is powerful in dragon priest because it is hard removal, and heal, and taunt, plus you can divine spirit inner fire it if you want.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
Seems way too slow and underpowered to me for the mana cost. 4/8 taunt is worth 6 mana. Lifesteal in priest is only useful against aggro pretty much, and if you made it to turn 9 against aggro you pretty much won anyway. The deathrattle can be easily played around, not to mention you can trade all your minions into it, finish it with spell if needed or stick some weaker minions on deathrattle effect. The effect is really similar to Chillmaw, which is pretty much a bad card, but this one is even slower, has the same ammount of stats, only better stat distribution and costs way too much.
It's not really and anti aggro card, it's an anti midrange card more than anything. Chillmaw saw a lot of play in pretty much any non aggressive dragon deck, so not that bad. This is slower and it's effect can be "played around", I think power of the card comes in easily getting multiples. Also you mentioned trading all your minions into it, into a lifesteal minion...okay feel free.
Seems like im the only one who think the card is not that great - for Priest. As a Priest Only player since beta..
This card isnt a proactive card, to get 100% Value from it: (i mean, its fcking 9 Mana, its a hole turn 90% of the time)
-Opponent must have a Minion on the Board
-Your not full HP
if this is not the case, you play a 4/8 Vanilla taunt for 9 Mana, this is no card to make presure or you can play on an empty board and im rly tired of very situational priest cards. I mean, mage just sheep or meteor it, shaman can frog it, 9 Mana do nothing is very riski for Priest.
and this is bad. It's not even a Battlecry. So, your opponent can play around it and it will be destroying Totems and Fire Fly. I will rate it playable. Lifesteal on a Priest minion isn't a big deal.
if it was a battlecry ill rate this bad or playable, what makes this card nuts is the deathrattle, the only thing that makes priest quest bad is lack of good deathrattles

How is a shadowpriest minion going to look like if it's not a good shadowpriest minion. It saves your face as while you kill minions with your hero power and it heals you because you can't anymore. Lifesteal IS a lot of shadowform help.

sign.
The card looks cool, but in the end , no one will play this
This card is really really good. lost of shenanigans you can pull off with this. Because of its effect you can probably be sure it'll survive at least 1 turn allowing you to copy it in some way. Resurrecting it will be insane too with eternal servitude
barnes+mirage caller, also alarm-o bot? xD

Priest mirrors are going to be bonkers with these guys just bonking each other in the face.
Shadow Word: Four pleeeeeease!
Slooow. But better than most legendaries.
Do you remember why stonehill defender is so strong on paladin? Well... priest also likes play the value game

I rly think its overrated.
Yea good luck getting to turn 9 lol.
i think some of you forgot that lifesteal is on the card.

Join me at Out of Cards!
Sylvanas's big brother. And its an epic.
Its like a Alley Armorsmith for priest because of lifesteal. With a bonus deathrattle of "kill a random enemy minion".
I can see this as a good pick in Arena. Not sure if strong enough for constructed though. Nzoth is interesting...
